Our First Moments

After a long 18 hour labor (it really wasn’t as bad as it sounds, after the epidural there was lot of waiting: for contractions to regulate, to dilate, and for the baby to get into the right position) we finally meet

We were shocked to find that baby boy looks alot like mama, including a dark head of hair. Although, John’s baby sister was born with a dark head of hair that later turned blonde, so we will have to wait and see. And while his eyes look dark in this photo they are still gray (more wait and see).

Here he is looking itty bitty in his Papa’s arms. I love seeing my husband as a father!!

Finally discharged from the hospital Oliver is dressed and ready to meet the world!

My brain is too tired to tell you all about how amazing it feels to be a mother. But let me simply say we are elated and we feel complete we have never been so over the moon about anything.
